I really like the ‘Mound Dominance’ subset that Topps included in their 2012 base set. The cards are sharp, the graphics are solid, and I am a sucker for cards that pay homage to a historic baseball event.

The ‘Mound Dominance’ set recalls 15 amazing pitching performances in major league history.

This is card #1 – Tom Seaver, Cincinnati Reds

The dominant day – June 16, 1978. On this day, Seaver threw a no-hitter against the St. Louis Cardinals. This was Seaver’s lone no-hitter of his career. In the game, he struck out three while walking three and allowing no hits and nor runs. The Reds beat the Cardinals 4-0.
